On her sixteenth birthday

This was a copy change --for Ricard Wilburs For K.R on her sixteenth birthday-- that I had to do for English.

Let your sweet breath take the candles light. Hold your last breath and make a wish, Your life is an open book within some will write Fear not the darkness for it surrounds you with bliss.

You are sweet and have yet to be soured, Your smile is the reason for his admiration, Let your sweet breath take the candles light. Hold your last breath and make a wish.

You are so angelic, with hair of flowing amber waves, Flashing your charming smile can win over the hardest of hearts; Take your wish and set it free among the stars And take your wings and fly away with it: Let your sweet breath take the candles last light.
